Williams tied a career high with eight 3-pointers, the last coming with two minutes left to put Miami ahead by 11 points. The Hurricanes won despite missing 21 consecutive shots in the first half, when they went 10 minutes without a basket to squander an early 12-point lead.

The Hurricanes (14-3 overall, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended their home winning streak to 34 games. Maryland (16-1, 3-1) was held 21 points below its scoring average of 84.4 points per game, best in the nation.

Williams shot 12 for 24, including 8 for 14 from 3-point range. Stefanie Yderstrom went 4-for-7 beyond the arc and scored 12 points. Morgan Stroman added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Hurricanes, who had an eight-rebound edge despite Maryland’s height advantage.

Alyssa Thomas had 18 points for the Terrapins but committed eight turnovers. Laurin Mincy was held to six points, nearly nine below her average.

The Terrapins went 2 for 11 from 3-point range, while Miami shot 13 for 28. The loss was the first for Maryland since it was beaten in the second round of the NCAA tournament last year.

Miami trailed by seven points early in the second half but regained the lead when a 3-pointer by Williams made it 47-46. She made back-to-back 3-pointers during a 10-0 run that put the Hurricanes up 64-56 with less than four minutes left.

Williams scored 15 points in the first 8 1/2 minutes to help the Hurricanes take a 22-10 lead. They then went cold, and a 15-1 run by the Terrapins put them ahead.
